“This particular PMD nymph was concocted after I researched several patterns online prior to a trip out west. I wanted a slim-bodied nymph that was virtually indestructible and that would catch dozens of trout without falling apart. The acetate floss trick, although adding a little more time to the recipe, provides a bomb-proof fused body that is semi-translucent, an attribute that made this fly really deadly. Alter the color and sizes and you can imitate just about any smaller mayfly nymph.”
